Robotic adrenalectomy: the jury is still out.

Gland surgery

Ball MW, Allaf ME.
PMID: 26311226
Gland Surg. 2015 Aug;4(4):277-8. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.04.16.

A minimally-invasive approach is the gold standard for surgical management of the majority of adrenal masses. While laparoscopy has traditionally been used, robotic adrenalectomy is becoming increasingly utilized. This article discusses a recent systematic review and meta-analysis from European...

Prediction of ipsilateral and contralateral central lymph node metastasis in unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study.

Gland surgery

Chen Q, Zou XH, Wei T, Huang QS, Sun YH, Zhu JQ.
PMID: 26312214
Gland Surg. 2015 Aug;4(4):288-94. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.05.06.

BACKGROUND: Prophylactic central lymph node dissection (CLND) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains controversial and predictive factors for central lymph node (CLN) metastasis in unilateral PTC cases are not well defined. The aims of this study were...

A cost analysis of thyroid core needle biopsy vs. diagnostic surgery.

Gland surgery

Trimboli P, Nasrollah N, Amendola S, Crescenzi A, Guidobaldi L, Chiesa C, Maglio R, Nigri G, Pontecorvi A, Romanelli F, Giacomelli L, Valabrega S.
PMID: 26312216
Gland Surg. 2015 Aug;4(4):307-11. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.06.05.

BACKGROUND: Twenty percent of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) is indeterminate. Because 3 in 4 of these are actually benign, a method of clarifying the pathology could help patients to avoid diagnostic thyroidectomy. Recently, core needle biopsy (CNB) has...

Unexpected cause of superior vena cava syndrome.

Gland surgery

Diamantini G, Levi Sandri GB, Procacciante F.

Robotic transaxillary thyroid surgery.

Gland surgery

Rabinovics N, Aidan P.
PMID: 26425452
Gland Surg. 2015 Oct;4(5):397-402. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.04.08.

Recent technological advances have led to a rapid progress in endocrine surgery. With the advent of minimally invasive techniques in thyroid surgery, robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery (RATS) has emerged as one of the most promising approaches. Its main advantages...

Transoral robotic thyroid surgery.

Gland surgery

Clark JH, Kim HY, Richmon JD.
PMID: 26425456
Gland Surg. 2015 Oct;4(5):429-34. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.02.02.

There is currently significant demand for minimally invasive thyroid surgery; however the majority of proposed surgical approaches necessitate a compromise between minimal tissue dissection with a visible cervical scar or extensive tissue dissection with a remote, hidden scar. The...

Surgical approaches for liver metastases in carcinoid tumors.

Gland surgery

Kandil E, Saeed A, Buell J.
PMID: 26425458
Gland Surg. 2015 Oct;4(5):442-6. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.04.10.

Liver is the commonest site for metastasis in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs); it occurs in 45-95% of patients. Available treatment options include surgical resection, liver transplantation, chemotherapy and biotherapy. Surgery is the gold standard for curative therapy. Typically,...

Microsurgical refinements with the use of internal mammary (IM) perforators as recipient vessels in transverse upper gracilis (TUG) autologous breast reconstruction.

Gland surgery

Saour S, Libondi G, Ramakrishnan V.
PMID: 28861378
Gland Surg. 2017 Aug;6(4):375-379. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.05.04.

BACKGROUND: The transverse upper gracilis (TUG) flap is the senior authors' second choice for autologous breast reconstruction when the DIEP flap is not available. It provides durable, pliable tissue with well hidden scars. The main criticism of this flap...

Use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in nipple reconstruction: the 'central-pillar technique'.

Gland surgery

Bramhall RJ, Thiruchelvam PTR, Concepcion M, Gui GP.
PMID: 28861381
Gland Surg. 2017 Aug;6(4):394-398. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.03.13.

Nipple reconstructions are prone to a variable and unpredictable degree of flattening, which in some cases lead to secondary reconstruction. The use of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) augmentation may be appropriate in cases with very thin dermis that...

Robot assisted adrenalectomy: a handy tool or glorified obsession?.

Gland surgery

Pahwa M.
PMID: 26312212
Gland Surg. 2015 Aug;4(4):279-82. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2227-684X.2015.05.01.

Robotic surgery has recently expanded its horizon in urology apart from radical prostatectomy, one of them being adrenalectomy. Till now, laparoscopic adrenalectomy has established itself as the procedure of choice for benign adrenal disorders. Brandao et al. have recently...

Staged approach to partial breast reconstruction to avoid mastectomy in women with breast cancer.

Gland surgery

Roy PG, Tenovici AA.
PMID: 28861373
Gland Surg. 2017 Aug;6(4):336-342. doi: 10.21037/gs.2017.03.08.

BACKGROUND: The lateral chest wall perforator flaps (CWPF) offer an excellent option for partial breast reconstruction (PBR) in women undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS) for laterally placed tumours in small to moderate non-ptotic breasts.METHODS: A total of 20 patients...

The role of laparoscopic resection of metastases to adrenal glands.

Gland surgery

BACKGROUND: The potential role of the laparoscopic approach for metastases to the adrenal gland is debated. We review here a series of patients consecutively submitted to laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for suspected adrenal metastasis (AM).METHODS: Retrospective study (consecutive series) of...
